of Bee CuJturc an article on the developmrnt of tliis 

 insect. An examination of the abdomen of the 

 worker bee shows that it ai)i)arentl.v consists of six 

 rings or segments. The head and thorax are a'.so 

 composed of segments, but in the liead they have 

 become so closely fused together that the individual 

 segments can no longer be easily distinguished. The 

 insect is thus a cylinder composed of rings or seg- 

 ments. But in the embryo the segments still remain 

 distinct, and there is no differentiation into head, 

 thoracic, or abdominal regions. There has been 

 in the past more or less difference of opinion as to 

 the number of segments which enter into the forma- 

 tion of the head and abdomen. The trunk of the 

 insect was by the earlier workei-s in this field re- 

 garded as consisting of 10, or, in some cases, of 11 

 aegments. From his studies of the embryos of the 

 honeybee Dr. Nelson finds plain evidence of the 

 presence of 12 segments in the abdomen. Thi.s 

 valuable paper is published in the Annals O'f the 

 Entomological Society of America, Vol. XI, pp. 1-8. 



" Mysteries of Beekeeping Explained," by Quin- 

 by. Quinby has long been recognized as such an 

 authority on beekeeping, and his books in such de- 

 mand, that The A. I. Root Company has found it 

 necessary to publish recently an eighth edition. 

 The subjects treated are: " Thei Natural History 

 of Bees"; "Directions for Obtaining the Greatest 

 Amount of Pure Surplus" ; " Honey with the Least 

 Possible Expense"; "Remedies for Losses Given"; 

 " The Science of ' Luck ' Fully Illustrated." The 

 book is the result of more than 30 years' experi- 

 ence in extensive apiaries. Those wishing to pur- 

 chase the book may obtain it from The A. I. Root 

 Company. 



" The New Zealand Co-operative Honey Produc- 

 ers' Assn., Ltd." According to a leaflet put out 

 by the Neiw Zealand Co-operative Honey Producers' 

 Association, this concern received honey from 

 share-holders only, each of whom is required to take 

 up shares on the basis of his average crop. The 

 association w-as organized in order to regulate the 

 supply to the demand, and enable the beekeeper to 

 get a fairer return fo^r his produce. Since organiz- 

 ing, the association has caused a great increase in 

 local as well as export trade, and has increased 

 from 20 beekeepers to a large organization, with 

 shareholders all over the Dominion.
